#Python Program to find the area of triangle

a = 5
b = 6
c = 7

# Uncomment below to take inputs from the user
# a = float(input('Enter first side: '))
# b = float(input('Enter second side: '))
# c = float(input('Enter third side: '))

# calculate the semi-perimeter
s = (a + b + c) / 2

# calculate the area. ** 0.5 is a square root of s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)
area = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) ** 0.5
print('The area of the triangle is {}'.format (area))
#print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area)
